Wreck of the "Laura" The Laura was an Austrian-owned ship carrying a cargo of coke from Newcastle to Trieste which went aground in November 1897. It proved impossible to refloat her, and her cargo was offloaded, and much of the vessel was cut up for scrap with just the boiler remaining visible at low tide.
